Eggstravaganza!

The boys' preschool hosts a large egg hunt which we attended the Saturday of Easter weekend. David had fun collecting eggs & candy that was strewn across the ground. They also had carnival games, a small petting zoo and tons more activities for the kids. Plus they got to meet the O2B Kids Bunny! Check out Luke's delight!!

1 tired mom, 2 sick kids & 3 cups of coffee

Sorry there have not been any recent posts. I promise it is on my "to-do" list (somewhere on page 5 or 6). We certainly have been busy lately and I have lots of great pictures and stories to share. Right now, I am waiting for Brent to come home so I can go to work. He took yesterday off to stay home with Luke. We were up a lot last night with both David and Luke with a stomach bug. This morning, he managed to go in to work early while I stayed home with the kids. Three cups of coffee and a long hot shower later I am headed for work for the afternoon-evening and hopefully will get some rest tonight or tomorrow. I thought about staying home today and then working tomorrow but it looks like someone will need to be home with sick kids tomorrow as well.

Well, more to come ... for now here is a cute recent picture of David & Luke ("Momma, can I nurse Luke?").

My Boys!

Just a few more pictures of my boys to finish the month of March!

Another new trick!

On Wednesday Feb 25th, Luke started a new trick - sticking his tongue out (at us). At first we thought it was pretty cute, but then Brent started to get offended that Luke was sticking his tongue out at him so much. On Friday March 6th we figured out why when Luke popped out his first tooth on his right upper gum. No pictures of the tooth so far, but we are working on it.

Uh-Oh!

A few weeks ago I discovered Luke in a few precarious positions. He had managed to pull himself up in both his bassinet and crib, so we have since dropped the mattresses to the lower level in both. A few days later, he pulled up onto all fours. Then only a few days after that started to crawl -- now he is fast and constantly moving. Nothing is safe! A few things have been moved, the outlets covered and the pool fence installed!

Luke's First Boo-boo

A couple weeks ago, Luke had his first boo-boo and received his first band-aid. David's rendition: "Mommy kicked Luke!" (First thing he said when we walked into the baby room at daycare.) Mommy's rendition: "I was walking in front of Luke as he was sitting up and fell forward onto my foot. My toenail scraped his forehead but my foot caught him from doing a faceplant!" Needless to say, Luke was smiling about it a few minutes after it happened.

Birthday Party #4

We decided to celebrate David's birthday on Saturday March 7th right after lunch so that he could enjoy his presents for the remainder of the weekend. Mommy made her version of a volcano cake (mmmm... chocolate cake). David was so thrilled with all of his presents, especially his new backpack and lunch bag which he packed up and stashed in the car so he would be ready for school on Monday. Luke fell asleep despite all of David's excitement.
